Curriculum alignment
Every unit and the outcome it covers.
Alberta's new K–6 science curriculum is organized by grade and organizing idea. It doesn't publish outcome codes, so we cite the grade, the organizing idea and the outcome itself.

| 4 | Earth Systems | Our Living Planet | “Students investigate the systems of Earth and reflect on how their interconnections sustain life.” Alberta Science 4, Earth Systems | Coming |
| 5 | Earth Systems | Weather Detectives | “Students analyze climate and connect it to weather conditions and agricultural practices.” Alberta Science 5, Earth Systems | Coming |
